Here is the magazine photo I saw last year that made me want to make this quilt in 2013. My plan was to make 3 blocks a month from January -July and have time to quilt it or get it quilted and bound before Christmas 2013. Ta-Da!

Here it is. Quilted, bound and washed. If you look close most of the blocks are a little different. That was not done on purpose! That's why my blog is called Humble Quilts. I couldn't make a perfect quilt if I tried.
Here's a close up. It is on my bed and it makes me smile every night that I crawl under.
Happy December!
I just found out and am editing this to let you know Wendy has made the Tiptoe thru the Tulips pattern available. You can get more info HERE- Legends & Lace.
It is beautiful, love the not perfect patching ang the quilting is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks perfect to me and I love it. Time to get out the Christmas winter quilts. For me all the decorating I really need is a beautiful tree and Christmas quilts throughout the house. The perfect decorating. Your quilt is an heirloom as are all of yours. Hugs
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful holiday quilt. You had a goal and you did it!
ReplyDeleteI can see why sleeping under this quilt makes you smile. I love red and green quilts. The design left plenty of room for quilting and that is especially nice too. It will grace your bed for many, many holiday seasons.
ReplyDeleteLooks PERFECT to me! I would love to have it on my bed for the holidays! A big WOW.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, this Christmas quilt is absolutely great. This block was my favorite one, but I never achieved the top I had started to hand piece 20 years ago!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job on meeting your goal! AND you made a gorgeous quilt! Win win!
ReplyDeleteIt's GORGEOUS...and I LOVE that the flowers are different!! She has character!! If you didn't mention it then none of us would have been the wiser!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteP
It looks just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I still remember the photo of your Pomegranate quilt on your bed. I found that pattern, and maybe I'll have it done by next year.
ReplyDeleteit is stunning! I would be smiling in my dreams...way to go on reaching a goal!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful and a perfect reproduction. Quilting is about the journey not perfection (for most of us).
ReplyDeleteVery lovely. I like that you mixed up the blocks a bit, that keeps it from being static, and gives it a bit of a twinkle. I like how you set your goals, too. Makes even a big project more doable.
ReplyDeleteYour bed really looks like a magazine cover. The quilt is beautiful and I hope it brings you many wonderful dreams.
ReplyDeleteyo la veo preciosa!!!!
ReplyDeleteimagino tu cama muy cálida con esta colcha
buenos sueños.............

WooHoo, Lori!! Goal accomplished! Must feel so good--especially to be snuggled under it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is absolutely the best to have the blocks be a little randomly different. Therein lies the charm!
Gorgeous, Lori!! You really stuck to it and now reap the rewards of that fabulous quilt...go girl go!
ReplyDeleteYou did it!!! The washing makes it look so comfy! Glad for you to have this project finished to enjoy this year. I like different...
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks gorgeous!! You're sure to have sweet dreams snuggled under it :0) I like the subtle differences in the blocks. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSoooo pretty, I didn't look for any differences in the blocks, but I did enjoy the quilting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a wonderful finish! It is stunning and with a lovely vintage look. Sweet dreams under this beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Hubs always tells me that there is no such thing as a perfect quilt. A good motto to live by.
ReplyDeleteThe best quilts are the ones that make the person they belong to smile! Perfect or not!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! And I am impressed by the fact that you had a plan, followed it, and got rewarded with such a lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteStefy
…..sigh…….what can I say Lori…You are sooo creative and such an inspiration to me. I have spent a little extra time and 'strolled' through some of your past posts and once again I was renewed with ideas and excitement with alllll the eye candy!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and your never ending generosity on patterns, designs and fun!!
It look fantastic! I love it, another one for my list of quilts to make.
ReplyDeleteLove it! It's gorgeous! Maybe I need to make a Christmas bed quilt some day. Another item on the list. Hee Hee!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas quilt, Lori! Thanks for showing us your inspiration photo. I, too, get quilt inspiration from non-quilting magazine photos.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas quilt is magnificent! No wonder you smile when you see it. Another great accomplishment, Lori!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Lori! You are such an inspiration! Setting a goal and sticking to it!!
ReplyDeleteI love the charming eccentricities of your quilts. Beautiful work Lori!
ReplyDeleteLori, it is GORGEOUS!! it is beautiful and uniquely yours, I love everything about it!! I especially love that it looks crinkly and perfectly aged because it's been washed... oh it must be a joy to sleep under :))) cheers... Marian
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful quilt! Congratulations on this gorgeous finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt and ready to be used this Christmas too. You are very prolific. Good job.
ReplyDeleteLove it! what a beauty looks like an antique quilt! I love the variations too!!
ReplyDeletePerfect in my eyes! Happy December.
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!! I had hoped to get a couple of my Christmas quilts finished this year, but alas - that is the goal for next year!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Congratulations, it is absolutely stunning!!!!! !:) :) ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on meeting such a great goal, despite its differences from the original! I love the mix of different blocks :). Happy dreams under it!
ReplyDeleteHey Lori, What a beautiful, graphic quilt! I went back through some of your other Christmas posts too! You've got quite a collection of xmas quilts going on! I love the top / quilts in your last post. The 1776- 1876 quilt is a great inspiration. Actually the applique border reminds me a lot of Gwen Marston's applique borders?! I'm sad we can't get together this year for our mini retreat with Hannukah so early it really threw things off... Oh well hopefully next year. Have a wonderful holiday! cheers, CW
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is wonderful and who cares if the blocks are quilted differently. As long as you love it and enjoy it that is all that matters.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty ~ I'm very impressed that you got this completed in such a short time to enjoy this Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. What a neat feeling to have made that decision early in the year, and stuck at it. It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow, a stunning quilt, something to cherish at christmas time and any season.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about our very cold temps here in the Pacific Northwest...I can really pile on the quilts at night...love yours.
ReplyDeletewonderful!
ReplyDeleteit is so beautiful, looks perfect to me, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteno perfect quilts! good for you...me either....i wouldn't have it any other way...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt - I love that not every block is identical in colour arrangement. I think that it adds to the charm and beauty of your quilt. The red and green colours are so historic and the quilting just finishes it off perfectly! No wonder you smile every night when you curl up underneath it! I would too!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Lori! Sweet dreams!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt, its amazing!!! Congratulations on the finish.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that your quilt has slightly different blocks. To me that's precisely what makes it precious. They show that your quilt is truly hand-made and unique, different from the one that inspired you, really your own. Congratulations, it's beautiful. I can imagine your joy every time you see it on your bed.

Your Christmas quilt is just beautiful and I'm so inspired by how you made a reasonable monthly goal for piecing... and followed through. The quilting is so pretty too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty Christmas quilt Lori! I always love peeking in at what you've been up to :)
ReplyDeleteIt is such a beautiful quilt!
